ALL CHARACTERS AND EVENTS

ARE FICTITIOUS

FILMING FOR CHILD ACTORS DONE

UNDER BROADCASTING GUIDELINES

Here. If you roll a matching pair,

that will lead us to victory!

There is no way he would

also roll a matching pair.

No way.

Hold it!

What is it?

Are you now lacking the confidence?

There are no backsies at a gambling table.

Take off that shirt of yours.

Something is not right.

Maybe you have something hidden

under there.

What the…

Lee Eun-h*, is this absolutely necessary?

Look at that.

I admit that is a sight.

Take off your shirt and roll the dice.

Why should they strip?

Do not mind him, and keep it on.

You are grasping at straws

now that you are cornered.

Fine. I will strip.

Let us all strip.

It will not be pure dice-rolling

if I keep my clothes on.

- Let us strip!

- No, it is fine.

- Yes, let us strip.

- No.

- Hold on.

- Strip!

- Strip!

- No, stop that.

No, stop that.

- Stop it.

- Strip, boys!

Let us bare it all.

- That is not necessary.

- Strip.

All right. Here I go.

- Go, Myeong-h*!

- Go, Myeong-h*!

- Myeong-h*!

- Myeong-h*!

He rolled two threes!

Yes!

All right. It is your turn.

Why are you not stripping?

Remove your shirt already.

You need to roll the dice.

Why, you…

I found the culprit!

THIRTY

I have never seen

such immaculate craftsmanship in my life.

I would love to snatch this boy up

and lock him up in my workshop

so that we may work together!

Number 30?

THIRTY

Grab him!

- What the… How dare you?

- Grab him!

Grab him.

Get back here.

What is the meaning of this?

THIRTY

This is all due to my negligence.

You scoundrels.

If you wanted to play a game,

you should have kept it quiet.

You were just beyond rowdy.

I am sure it echoed through

every hall of Yongcheonru.

Who was it? Which scoundrel started it?

It was certainly not us.

That is right.

Those Elementary rascals started it.

I am responsible.

He foolishly claimed

our numbers represented our ranking

and that members of the Uiju Guild were

the only ones privy to the Expert ranking.

I suggested we see if they were

worthy of such a ranking.

That is correct.

Number 28 provoked us first.

So, are you saying you were

solely responsible for this whole mess?

Goodness me.

I agreed to participate,

so I share some blame as well.

I also rolled the dice with my hand.

I shall also bear some responsibility.

Did you Elementary rascals think

we would commend and praise you

for your loyalty in banding together

to commit mischief?

Demerit points for you all.

But…

But it was an honorable match.

"An honorable match"? Honorable?

Yes.

We may have played dice,

but it was not gambling--

A match between Elementary and Expert.

It was an honorable deal.

Yes.

Both parties consented to the match.

You better stop talking, you scoundrels.

My deepest apologies for all this ruckus.

Expert claims they were wrongfully misled,

yet Elementary argues

that it was an honorable deal…

Apprentice Number 30.

Yes?

I am Number 30, Hong Deok-su.

You claim it was not mere gambling

but an honorable deal.

- Yes.

- On what grounds do you claim so?

First…

there was no coercion.

Second,

both parties agreed to the terms.

Third, it was

a reasonable exchange of services.

Lady Seol, is this also not

how you do business?

Hong Deok-su, how dare you talk back!

You mere apprentices gambled

in your quarters, and you dare to argue

your behavior was just?

Have you all lost your minds?

Do you all have death wishes?

How crass.

Lady Seol, you should just expel them all.

It would be a bit of a waste

to just toss them out now.

Perhaps, you could just let it slide

this one time.

No, we have heard enough.

They must be expelled.

- Come on now…

- Wait, Lady Seol.

We cannot be expelled.

We are from the Uiju Guild.

And does the Expert Room belong to them?

For generations,

it was occupied by us Uiju Guild members…

And it is Yongcheonru

that gave you that privilege.

Number 30.

Did you have anything else to add?

We are all here…

to learn as apprentices of Gyohwa Hall.

I beseech you…

to reconsider our expulsion.

Lady Seol.

We implore you to be magnanimous.

Fine.

I shall overlook tonight as it seems

everyone learned a valuable lesson.

Keep in mind what you have learned today

as you become proper Yongcheonru clerks.

Lady Seol.

Can I ask why you did not apprehend

the Red Certificate forger immediately?

Just be patient. I have a plan in mind.

It has been so long

since I have encountered

a boy with such potential.

Kids nowadays are too clever and shrew

for their own good.

Mere apprentices are left

to freely and shamelessly talk back.

Bang Sa-seon's incompetence

knows no bounds.

Come on now. Take it easy.

Number 30, Hong Deok-su…

ELEMENTARY

Deok-su, if you had gone through

with that last round,

we definitely would have won.

Such a wasted opportunity…

Indeed.

What a terrible waste.

Waste, my foot.

We were all just

on the verge of expulsion.

Deok-su, cheer up.

We survived. That is what matters.

Thanks.

Deok-su, I know

you did not play that game

to win that room.

And Eun-h*, thank you

for going out of your way

to antagonize them

after they looked down on my family.

That was not my only reason for doing so.

What about me?

You also offered to share the blame.

When the opportunity arises, I, too,

will lend my support and stand by you all.

Gosh, Su-ra, after refusing

to get in the same boat as us,

this is how you profess

your love for us? This guy--

Jeez.

I am simply offering

to pay back a debt as a proper merchant.

Ko Su-ra!

Let go of me.

Be careful.

We are officially

in the same Elementary boat together.

- The same… We are in the same boat now.

- You better keep your distance.

I told you to stop.

What do you have up your sleeve?

Su-ra might have fallen for it,

but not me.

You provoked them on purpose

into that wager, did you not?

Such insolence.

Do you imply I had a hidden motive?

Am I wrong? To take off my…

Perhaps,

you are the one hiding something…

What do I have to hide?

I am not hiding anything.

Hey. You are being

more suspicious if you ask me.

What do you mean?

The way you speak. "Insolence"?

Everything is insolent in your eyes.

Do you think you are

a royal prince or something?

Should we not go and memorize

the Yongcheonru Clerkship Chronicles…

Shall we go do that?

I found the Red Certificate forger.

Number 30. A young man named Hong Deok-su.

Is that so?

He also shares a room

with Young Master Jun-hwa.

Hong Deok-su…

Prince Muyeong is in that room

as well, is he not?

Shall I have him arrested?

Just let him be.

The ripped certificate

was not the only thing

found at the m*rder scene.

I have received intel that a sword

with a dragon engraving was also present.

A sword with a dragon engraving…

One belonging to the royal family?

Should the Minister of w*r

get his hands on the sword,

there is no telling what he will do.

Where did you say

this sword was discovered again?

On the body of the gambler

who had his Red Certificate stolen.

Are you saying…

that man was m*rder*d

for the Red Certificate?

Yes, my lord.

I brought it here because you commanded

to be informed of all developments.

Yongcheonru…

ROYAL PALACE

Prince Seonyang's tenth birthday

is fast approaching.

Even if we start now,

we will have barely enough time to prepare

for his Crown Prince appointment.

Her Majesty is greatly concerned about it.

Your Majesty, we cannot continue to leave

the seat of the Crown Prince empty.

Prince Muyeong is in Onyang to recuperate,

and you suggest I appoint a Crown Prince?

Prince Muyeong can not even be considered

because he was not birthed by the Queen?

The nation finds itself beset

by famine and plague.

More so than ever,

now is the time you must fortify

the pillars of state and royal authority.

At this juncture, I implore you

for a royal command.

I am still not sure if I should divulge

this matter to you, Your Majesty.

And what matter might that be?

Well… There was a heinous m*rder

in Seochon, not too long ago.

This has yet to be confirmed,

but it seems a royal artifact

has been found at the m*rder scene.

On the day of the crime,

Prince Muyeong was in Onyang,

so he can not be implicated in any way.

It seems someone looking

to slander the royal throne

was behind such a scheme.

I will be sure to carry out

a thorough investigation

to ensure it does not become

your burden, Your Majesty.

It is barely morning

and vermin have entered the palace

not through a rat hole in the back,

but the front gates.

The nation is showing signs of ruin.

How dare you show your face here

ostentatiously in a palanquin?

My apologies, my lord.

Please forgive me, my lord,

for my legs are weak

and I find it challenging

to stay on my feet.

His Majesty is too distressed

to see you today. Turn back.

No, that is not it.

I am here on other business today.

Other business?

What business could you have

with Prince Eunseong?

I heard that he had been suffering

from a terrible cold recently,

so I am here

with a few sachets of medicinal herbs.

If you have good herbs, you should be

serving them to Prince Seonyang.

You are only in this predicament

because you lost the ledger 12 years ago.

Do you plan on tiptoeing

around Prince Eunseong forever?

Step down already.

How dare you sit when I stand.

Did His Majesty say

he will appoint Prince Seonyang

as the Crown Prince on his birthday?

Please let me know

if there are any goods you desire.

I will acquire them for you.

It is beyond two-faced.

You grease so many palms.

I suggest you soon declare

the master you serve.

My lord, you and I are

the ones responsible

for His Majesty's ascension.

We should continue that tradition

with the next ascension.

You are right about that.

It seems all that gold you have acquired

allows you to think clearly.

You better be on foot next time.

Yes, my lord. I certainly shall.

Let us go.

Gyohwa Hall has always evaluated

the apprentices based

on their individual points up until now.

However, Lady Seol has come up

with an innovative new method.

Lady Seol did?

As ordered by Lady Seol,

you will be evaluated in groups

which consist of your roommates.

All the demerit points

you have accumulated up until now--

Will they be removed?

Wrong. They shall all be combined.

Starting now, your roommates

shall share the merit

and demerit points you receive.

- However, Master--

- "However"! One demerit point.

However--

Elementary Room.

You have collected so many already.

Elementary Room,

you are really hanging on by a thread.

Is this what they mean

by being in the same boat?

That is correct.

First, we shall test

each group to see if they memorized

the Yongcheonru Clerkship Chronicles.

Starting now,

you vermin shall survive together

or die together.

A mistake or error by one of you

will result in the expulsion

of your roommates.

Do you all understand?

- Yes, my lord.

- Yes, my lord.

My goodness. This is so exciting.

So very exciting.

- Move it!

- My goodness.

- Move.

- What the heck?

Me?

I am sorry. I am.

We are in big trouble.

ELEMENTARY, ELEMENTARY ROOM

If we combine

all our demerit points we have…

Come on now.

Do not worry, my dear Deok-su.

We just need to earn more merit points.

I can't believe this…

I told you all…

that I would pay back

your kindness one day.

I shall make sure you all pass.

Just put your faith in me.

Everyone shall pass, no matter what.

I, Ko Su-ra, give you my word.

Ko Su-ra!

As if it was that easy…

If everyone who wanted to pass did,

then this would not be Yongcheonru.

My thoughts exactly, Myeong-h*.

You should know your place,

even when it comes to dreams.

Just let them be, Du-sik.

Their days are numbered anyway.

With nothing to lose, they might as well

enjoy their fantasy.

Let us go.

- Hey, hey. Why, you little…

- Stop, Deok-su.

Reckless will not get you anywhere.

Stop wasting time and start memorizing.

Worry about yourself.

Lee Eun-h*.

Our fates are intertwined now.

Wait for me.

Hey, come this way.

If it was not for that darn brass key…

WANTED

REPORT TO KIM DU-PAL

Flowers!

- Father.

- Hello there. Jae-on.

Just look at all the falling petals!

Welcome.

Come on!

Gosh. I was not expecting you

to come by today.

It has been 12 years already.

Has it been that long already?

And no one has come by?

Dozens of people died here.

Who would dare to visit this place?

I have only been here because

you ordered me to take care of it.

On some nights,

even I find myself terrified

that ghosts might come to haunt me.

This place used to contain

all the warmth in the world.

Why would you be scared of ghosts

when nothing is scarier than time?

Lady Seol…

I will have to head back

to my hometown this fall.

I need to marry my daughter off and…

Of course. You have done

more than enough for 12 years.

I shall add an extra five months' worth

of salary in your final payment.

No, that will not be necessary, my lady.

I shall pay you what you deserve.

Lady Seol…

perhaps, you should stop

waiting for her now.

- That is a new notice.

- No.

It is not a new one.

- Does it not look familiar?

- I have definitely seen it.

It is not a new one.

- I have seen it.

- Yes.

Get away!

Do not loiter in front of my house. Go.

Move it!

- Let us just go! Goodness.

- How rude.

Mother!

My goodness. Why would you run like that?

I have so much plaguing my mind already

and you fussing is just making it worse.

Mother, did you hear the news?

There was a m*rder in Seochon!

m*rder?

Who died?

He was a gambler who hung around Seochon.

Kim Man-dol.

I hear the Police Bureau is arresting

all the gamblers he has ever played with.

What is the world coming to?

Gambling and m*rder…

The world is falling apart.

But you know, that man gambled every day,

had all that debt with loan sharks,

and used to swing his sword at anyone.

He was asking for trouble.

Even last time when Deok-su rolled…

- They rolled dice?

- No.

No, not dice. They rolled…

They rolled out various herbs

for ssanghwa tea, I heard.

Gu-sil, you better be straight with me.

Did Deok-su play dice with that man?

Mother, I know nothing.

I really do not know anything.

I know nothing!

Something still feels off…

Definitely.

GRAND PROPRIETOR

INNKEEPER

Everyone is studying so hard.

It is so hot.

If you have any questions,

feel free to ask me.

What are you so focused on, Deok-su?

Wait. You are after Lord Cheon's position?

No.

No, that of Lady Seol's.

That is my goal.

Well then… You would be right under me.

You should really get

your head checked out.

Hey, Eun-h*.

We already learned all that last time.

And you two, did you memorize

the official Yongcheonru greeting?

No need.

I have full faith in you, Su-ra.

Me too.

Let us go.

Off to battle.

The first chapter

of Yongcheonru Clerkship Chronicles

outlines the welcome greeting

you must perform at Chinyeongrae.

You shall execute

that greeting to the letter.

Start.

Do you feel welcomed?

Wrong. Next.

Welcome to Yongcheonru.

- Wrong.

- Hello you.

- Wrong.

- Hello there, you--

Wrong.

Go back to your seats.

Expert Room. I have high hopes.

Start.

Are you doing… well?

Wrong. I am feeling

the farthest from well.

You need to bow down. Next.

Hello there.

Welcome to Yongcheonru.

Wrong!

Your tone is not welcoming at all.

Next.

Hello there. Welcome to Yongcheonru.

May I see your ID tablet?

Let me show you to your room.

Will you please follow me?

I will carry your luggage for you.

- Breakfast will be served--

- Wrong.

Your left hand needs to be on top.

Next.

- Hello there!

- Wrong! Next.

Return to your seats.

Next.

Elementary Room, are you ready?

Yes, my lord.

Start.

- Hey there.

- Wrong.

- Hey there?

- Wrong. Next.

- Hey there. Hey there.

- Wrong. Wrong.

- Wrong. Wrong.

- Hey there. Hey--

You scoundrel! That is enough.

Next.

Hello there.

You went down too low. Next.

- But--

- Wrong! Wrong.

The rising star

of Elementary Room, Ko Su-ra.

Start.

I…

Hi…

- Hello…

- What is wrong with you?

Time is up. Wrong.

Next.

Hello there. Welcome to Yongcheonru.

May I see your ID tablet?

Let me show you to your room.

Will you please follow me?

I will carry your luggage for you.

We will serve breakfast in Yeonhwa Hall

and dinner in Yehwa Hall.

Please enjoy them at your leisure.

Shall I make you a reservation?

Elementary Room. Pass.

- Pass!

- Pass?

Ten points.

Pass!

He was born gifted.

- Eun-h*, you saved us!

- Eun-h*! Thank you!

- Thank you so much.

- It is all thanks to you.

- You saved us all.

- Thank you.

Thank you.

Next is chapter two.

INTERMEDIATE

EXPELLED

This makes no sense.

Elementary survived.

That was a close call for us as well.

Those fearing expulsion will have

a chance to deduct demerit points.

Three demerit points, no less.

First come, first served.

Me!

Elementary Room, you got it!

Thank you!

This must have come from the West.

Look at this.

It is so white and round. So pretty.

This is what they call an "onion."

I hear it tastes quite good.

I see… "Onion"?

- Yes, onion.

- Onion…

Go on.

Have a taste.

You see, these are very pricy,

but I will make an exception

and give you permission. All right?

Open up.

Go on. Have another bite.

SENNESSY

What is taking them so long?

Amazing. We get to enjoy the Orchid Suite

on our day off, all thanks to Myeong-h*.

Even the air is different here.

Surely, this is not your first time here.

Calm down.

He is not even officially

a clerk here yet.

This must be it.

The Orchid Suite…

Goodness, Myeong-h*!

Our dearest colleague!

It is so good to see you.

Welcome, Seong-jin.

I, a mere junior in the Uiju Guild,

have been dying to treat you,

my esteemed senior colleague, to a drink.

No, no.

Please sit at the head of the table.

Please allow me to pour you

the first drink, Seong-jin.

There is no one in Yongcheonru

I wanted to meet more than you.

And why did you want to see me, sir?

Come on now. There is no need

for such formalities with your junior.

"Junior"?

I will soon become your junior colleague

when I officially become a clerk.

I thought I would give it a go

to see how it sounds,

Senior Seong-jin.

I am not here today for drinks.

You will become the proprietor

of our guild someday.

I simply came as a show of respect.

Exactly.

I, the future proprietor, wanted

to show my seniors just how much

I respected them today.

That is why I brought

this fine 30-year-old liquor

all the way from Uiju.

- Let me pour you a drink.

- No, thank you.

Oh, no. What should I do?

I already opened the bottle.

Should I just toss it?

Or just one for you, Dong-gyu?

It would be a waste to toss it.

Excellent.

Why, this is…

Myeong-h*, you must let me

pour you one too.

Thank you.

It has such a beautiful hue.

It tastes so sweet.

You should have one. Just one.

Come on now.

Deok-su…

I can not see anything through my tears.

I can not stop crying

even with a scallion in my mouth.

This feels wrong.

We need to hang in there

and peel all of these.

We need to peel all of them

if we want our demerit points deducted.

We are almost done.

Let us push through and finish.

Here. Earn some more merit points.

You all must become official clerks

and come work for my department.

I will be back with more onions.

ORCHID SUITE

The funny thing about this is

that you do not feel drunk

no matter how much you drink.

Please have some more.

It must be exhausting

to serve Lady Seol every day.

Then again, it is not just her.

All three directors always ask

for only me.

There is simply not enough

of me to go around.

Exactly.

Now, we should take this chance

to unite as one for the Uiju Guild.

- Yes, right.

- Yes.

- U!

- Unite with loyalty!

- J!

- Just guzzle it down!

- Myeong-h*!

- Myeong-h*!

Did everything go well?

Du-sik, surviving

in the workplace is no joke.

Myeong-h*, it tears me up inside

to see you suffering like this.

HANGOVER REMEDY

Then we should pass tomorrow's test

with flying colors, right?

Of course!

I am Kim Myeong-h* of the Uiju Guild.

Come tomorrow, I will get rid

of every Elementary apprentice.

Have you been well, sire?

I am doing very well.

Today, I peeled these things

from the West called "onions."

Are you sure you are doing all right?

This scent is stinging my nose.

Thanks to me,

our room was saved from expulsion.

"Our"?

Update me on the situation.

His Majesty urged for you

to stay alert and on guard.

Did something happen in the palace?

Why did Father send such a message?

He called for me after meeting

with the Minister of w*r

and asked me to swiftly pass this along.

I should make haste.

I should be able to find some sort of lead

in the Management Department tomorrow.

I am displeased with all of it.

I mean, Prince Seonyang must be

appointed as the Crown Prince

on his birthday.

Yet His Majesty refuses to appoint him

because Prince Muyeong

went off to recuperate in Onyang.

Citing some lame excuse

about it not being the right time.

Did you say Prince Muyeong was in Onyang?

I cannot believe this.

Do not tell me you are

less in the know than me.

I heard he went to Onyang to recuperate.

Who knows when he will be back?

How could I not be upset?

Do not worry about it too much.

When Prince Muyeong returns,

His Majesty will set

an appointment date soon.

Even with all this going on,

Lord Cheon is busy

meeting with Prince Eunseong.

What is he thinking?

You must know what he has up his sleeve.

I am afraid I do not understand.

Do not play dumb with me.

Just get on with it and tell me.

You are the only one

in all of Joseon who knows

what is going on in his head.

How could I know everything on his mind?

By the way,

where are the gold bars I was promised?

I had them delivered to your home already.

Really?

As expected,

you just know me all too well.

How I would love for you to work for me…

Let us go. Before the sun comes up!

GRAND PROPRIETOR

INNKEEPER

What are you reading with such fervor now?

What? You are still looking at that?

You must really want that position.

What? Do you think I will not be able to?

Then, I have no other choice.

If Hong Deok-su, a true man,

become the innkeeper,

I shall become the grand proprietor.

We need to become official clerks first.

You better not mess up.

Of course.

I hope we can cross

the finish line in this boat.

Sounds good.

Here you go again. Seriously.

Hey, Eun-h*.

Deok-su, are you once again

skipping the bathhouse tonight?

This room reeks of pungently stale onions.

Are you not disgusted?

We should wash up together as roommates.

He is right. We can not sleep here

in this state. Let us go bathe.

You two, go on ahead.

I will take my time and make my way

when the bathhouse is less crowded.

That is nice.

At least, take off your shirt.

I can smell you from here.

I could say the same for you.

You stink as much as I do.

Must you rub all that stink on the floor?

What an irritating man you are.

- Get up. We need to wash up.

- Stop it.

I can take care of myself.

Wash yourself or your clothes or whatever.

Just leave me alone. I want to rest.

Unbelievable.

It is not like something is hidden.

Let go! Damn it.

Hey, Eun-h*.

Can you help me up?

Why do you keep doing that?

Me?

What did I do?

I noticed

that you keep stealing glances at Deok-su.

It was more than a few times.

By chance, do you…

No, never mind.

No, what am I thinking?

No, right?

What are you talking about?

I mean, sure, one can feel like that.

No, one cannot!

You cannot. You do not, right?

No.

You are making no sense.

Such insolence!

Look here!

That is not true.

DEMERIT, MERI

FAIL, PASS

From today, you will be tested

by the three departments,

Hospitality, Management, and Food.

Each director will carry out

their own exams.

First, we have

Director Cho Seung-ryang from Management.

A round of applause.

The Department of Management

is in charge of safety

and all facilities at Yongcheonru.

Then, will we have

access to all facilities

if we join your department?

Why, I ought to…

My department…

is in charge of providing every amenity

a guest may require during their stay

as well.

There is one amenity that is crucial.

Bedding.

We use the highest-quality cotton

to make our bedding.

Some of our distinguished guests

even purchase them to take home.

Even Joseon's greatest beauty, Chun-hui…

became intoxicated

by its soft texture

and feather-like weight.

She could not bear to leave.

The phrase "beauty sleep" originated

from Yongcheonru.

It remains popular to this day

and our best seller.

If we lined up everyone who bought a set,

they would be able to circle

the capital a dozen times.

Therefore,

today's exam will be…

laundry.

By tomorrow morning,

each group must

spotlessly launder 20 sets of sheets

and submit them

after drying them stiff

and ironing out every little wrinkle

to create the sharpest of corners.

Proceed.

Yes, my lord.

Twenty sets will take forever.

Here.

Take this. Go on.

Myeong-h*, those Elementary jerks are

moving really fast. What should we do?

Do not worry.

Salt and buckwheat flour.

We should be able to launder them

at lightning speed.

You are the best!

I never lost faith in you.

Hey.

Do these not look dirtier than the rest?

Maybe?

This is not going to work. Bring them.

Okay.

- Put them all in?

- Yes.

So refreshing.

Just join him. You know you want to.

What?

No.

We should all join him.

Su-ra, you too.

- Yes, come on in.

- Come on.

Come on now.

Now…

Really stomp down.

- Hurry up.

- Here I come!

Stop that!

Slow down!

- Make some room.

- Okay.

- What is wrong with you?

- You pip-squeak.

Stop that.

This is so fun!

Way to go, Deok-su!

You guys are too tall.

One, two, three.

Who are you really?

Your speech is unlike the rest.

Do you like Deok-su?

That is enough already.

My friend, you should not be that obvious.

Your eyes remain glued on him all day

and everyone can see that.

When he goes right, you turn right.

When he goes left, you turn left.

Jeez.

I have never witnessed

such desperately longing eyes before.

Your feelings are genuine.

I acknowledge them. I do.

However,

since we are all still apprentices,

maybe consider

keeping them hidden for now.

It will put you two in a fix

if someone finds out.

The world is not as open-minded as I am.

How many times

must I tell you that is not true?

You do not need to worry.

My lips are sealed.

- We are friends, after all.

- Listen to me. That is not it!

Stop blabbing and hurry up!

We are the last group!

Hurry up.

Your eyes are glued on him now

Even now, they are glued

You bring that.

Are we too late?

We can use that one.

Great.

Where are you going?

Unfortunately, these lines are

for our sheets.

Spreading them across two lines

allows them to dry much quicker.

You scoundrels. If you take both lines,

where will we hang our sheets?

How would I know?

Eun-h*, do not bother.

These jerks are

picking a fight on purpose.

- Just let it go.

- Why let it go?

Let us fight!

Fine, let us fight.

As if it was not hot enough…

What is the matter?

They act unreasonably after being late.

What?

But, Clerk Dong-gyu,

this facility is to be shared

by all the apprentices.

It is unjust for one group to hog it.

You were late. Deal with it.

- Pardon?

- Wait, but…

I will take you to another spot.

There is another spot?

Follow me.

Yes, my lord.

Pay them no mind.

Goodbye, Elementary.

Here. Take this.

Make sure it is straight.

That is good.

Finally, we are all done.

Gosh, with this nice breeze,

they should dry in no time.

We have finally finished it.

Thank goodness.

They will definitely dry

before dinnertime.

If we iron them in the evening,

we will finish with time to spare.

Management oversees laundry…

We will pass, right?

Of course.

Come on now. This is what youth is about.

Let us enjoy our youth!

With the blue skies

and bright white sheets above us…

I have not felt

such peace in a long while.

What happened?

Damn it.

Myeong-h*!

Hey, Sang-u. Did you see it happen?

Yes. They are beyond screwed.

Everything is on the ground.

What did I tell you, dear Myeong-h*?

You are good. So good.

My mother used to do this sometimes

with our duvets.

We do not need to hit or stomp

to get them clean

if we wash them in the river

by a fast current.

They will be done in no time.

But that looks dangerous.

Must we go so far for laundry?

We must do what we can to pass.

Let us do it quickly before we get caught.

Yes. I, too, must become

an official clerk of Yongcheonru.

We said we would all pass together.

Me too!

We know.

Now, follow me!

- Be careful.

- Okay.

- Hey.

- No.

I never fall.

Wait for me, Deok-su.

Okay.

Seriously?

But…

Are you not coming in?

I mean… Why do they go this far?

Hold on to it tightly

so it is not swept away.

- Okay.

- Apply some lye water

and rinse it in the water like this.

Then, you are done. Super quick, right?

This is really…

Wait, hold on.

Watch it.

Deok-su!

Deok-su!

Deok-su!

Deok-su!

Where is he? Deok-su!

Do not even think about going anywhere

until you pay me back.

Yesterday, you…

You can not leave my side

until your debt is paid off.

What is so great about Deok-su?

What has suddenly gotten

into you, Jun-hwa?

By chance, did you…

Has Jun-hwa come to his senses?

He gets along well with his roommates.

I am seeing a new side of him.

I am sure he will act

more like a proper successor,

once he gets a taste of power.

How would you like to make a deal with me?

What happened to his daughter?

We should continue searching for her.

I shall go.

I shall join you this time.

What is taking Deok-su so long?

Time is almost up.

Those jerks are finished.

Deok-su is in trouble.

- Deok-su is?

- Deok-su is?

Is she gone or not?

What should we do now?

Is she gone or not?
